Pursued by other drug dealers, Maguila flees from the favela along with a 13-year-old tomboy nicknamed Branquinha who proclaims herself Maguila's wife. Amid the confusion, Branquinha takes her friend Japa into a car whose driver is obligated to help Maguila. Suddenly, Maguila get out of the car with the children. They arrive in the house of the American William, and Maguila asks to use to pee in his bathroom, as according to Branquinha he was well-bred by his mother. Assuming it is a robbery, William's chauffeur shoots Maguila who in response kills him. In the house, they discover Dona Conceição, William's maid, and Julie, William's daughter, both trying to call the police, but Japa prevents them to do it. Maguila and the children do not want to stay there, but Maguila wants a healing on his wound before going. Julie does a bandage in Maguila, but when they are about to leave the home, Japa notices a police car around. Japa recommends they to wait it goes away, and Branquinha and Japa tie the residents. While Maguila is exhausted due to his injury, Japa explores the house and Branquinha becomes fascinated by Julie, forcing her to do a topless. The police car is no more there, but Maguila decides to sleep. In this time, Marta, William's secretary, finds odd the fact that no one answers the bell, and calls the police. Trapped inside the house, the children and William try to negotiate with the police to leave the place. They request the presence of an American Embassy's member, a children's rights non-governmental organization, and the press to assure their security. To show up themselves to the police, Branquinha asks Julie to wear other clothes to look like she is in safety. While the children are in the second floor to choose Julie's clothes and appear in a television channel, Conceição manages to escape. Japa kills her as she does not stop to try to release William. After it, Japa and Branquinha discuss on the better way to escape, and accidentally kill each other. The police then invades the house and rescues William and Julie. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「How Angels Are Born」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
